I’m a makeup virgin and totally clueless when it comes to wearing the stuff. What are your top tips for a basic everyday look and the products that I could use?
Well, luckily, you’re in safe hands with us!
We’re going to take baby steps today, starting with the top hardworking products that we believe… more

It’s a well known fact that a deep side part is the fastest way to make any outfit look approximately 87% more polished. It’s also a great way to boost volume in day old hair (switching the part to the opposite side confuses the hair which helps to capitalise on the volume underneath), plus it’s… more

It was only a matter of time before everyone’s favourite Gossip Girl star, Blake Lively, was picked up by a fragrance house. We know from her red-carpet track record that her and Karl Lagerfeld go way back with Chanel, so naturally, her latest collaboration with Gucci seems like a winning move for the brand.
Not only… more

Some women, like my adorable Mum, never leave the house without a slick of lippie. For others, it’s a coat or two of mascara. For me, I refuse to step foot out the door before tending to my brows.
I’ve wanted Brooke-Shields’ brows before Brooke Shields knew she had great brows and as a result of… more

I have some brightly-coloured, sparkly MAC pressed powder eye shadows (my favourite shade is Aquadisiac), but how do I wear them without looking ridiculous?
If you’re usually a less-is-more sort of girl, wearing colour, be it an acid-blue t-shirt, yellow nail polish, or a slick of coral on your pucker can be particularly daunting. The good… more

It’s near impossible not to fall in love with everything YSL creates. From their sky-high Tribute heel, to their tailored jackets, right down to their chunky cocktail rings, I’m yet to see a collection, handbag or accessory, that I wouldn’t want to seriously consider trading in my car and apartment for. And don’t even get… more

Admittedly, I’ve never been a die-hard Twilight fan, but character and film choices aside, I salute Kristen Stewart for staying true to her individual style. I love that she isn’t afraid to wear converse sneakers with a frock (gasp!) and hasn’t been sucked into the Fake Tan and False Lashes Vortex that seems to have… more

With exactly 24 days to go, the countdown to my wedding is on! Although I’m the first to admit that I’ve been pretty laid back with the whole situation (we were engaged for something like seven months before I even started looking at venues) the good news is that I was on the front foot… more

Winter, it’s what I like to call lounge season. It’s that time of the year when you really can’t be motivated to do anything, and the prospect of spending the night in, chilling in front of the box, eating cookies and cream ice-cream seems that much more appealing. On the upside, the slowdown in parties… more

Until recently, I was never big on hair accessories. I only had to look at a headband and I’d get a headache but it seems everywhere you look right now, designers and stylists are on a mission to bring all-matter of hair accessories, from hair pins, to clips, bands and crowns back. And I’m not… more
